Which Singapore company resolution do you need?
Running a Singapore private limited company means making decisions the Companies Act 1967 expects you to record as a resolution — a dated, signed minute of who decided what. Two bodies pass them: the directors, for operational matters, and the shareholders, for the fundamental decisions the owners must make. Some actions need a resolution from both.
The threshold matters as much as the wording. An ordinary resolution passes on more than 50% of the votes cast; a special resolution needs at least 75%. The Act fixes which one applies to each decision — a company name change is a special resolution, while the mandate to issue new shares is only an ordinary one — so copying the right template for the right threshold is what makes a resolution stick.
The guides below cover the most common resolutions a Singapore director actually files, each with a free, copy-paste template, the correct statutory citation, and — where one applies — the ACRA deadline that follows.

Common questions
- What is a company resolution in Singapore?
- A company resolution is the formal record of a decision by either the directors (a board or directors’ resolution) or the shareholders (a members’ resolution). Singapore’s Companies Act 1967 requires certain decisions to be made by resolution, and a subset of them to be lodged with ACRA within a deadline.
- What is the difference between a board resolution and a shareholders’ resolution?
- Directors pass board resolutions for most operational matters — appointing officers, opening bank accounts, allotting shares under an existing mandate. Shareholders pass members’ resolutions for fundamental matters the owners must decide, such as changing the company name, amending the constitution, or granting a share-issue mandate. Some actions, like a share allotment, need both.
- What is the difference between an ordinary and a special resolution?
- An ordinary resolution needs more than 50% of the votes cast by members entitled to vote; a special resolution needs at least 75%. The Companies Act specifies which applies to each decision — for example, a company name change is a special resolution (75%), while a Section 161 share-issue mandate is only an ordinary resolution (more than 50%).
- Are free resolution templates legally valid in Singapore?
- A resolution is valid when it records a properly authorised decision, passed by the right people at the correct threshold, and is dated and signed. The template is only the wording — citing the correct section of the Companies Act and meeting the right voting threshold matters far more than the formatting. These templates are a starting point, not legal advice.
- Do I need to file the resolution with ACRA?
- It depends on the decision. Some — a name change, or a return of allotment after issuing shares — must be lodged on Bizfile within a deadline, often 14 days. Many internal board resolutions are simply kept in the company’s minute book and are not filed at all.
